SXSW 2011

SXSW® Interactive features five days of compelling presentations from the brightest minds in emerging technology,
scores of exciting networking events hosted by industry leaders, the incredible new SXSW Trade Show and an
unbeatable lineup of special programs showcasing the best new digital works, video games and innovative ideas
the international community has to offer. Join us for the most energetic, inspiring and creative event of the year,
taking place March 11-15, 2010 in Austin, Texas.

We'd like some North American members of the Fedora Design team to network and mingle at this event. Note that Diana Martin is attending to present her findings from the Fedora anthropological study as well.

Photobooth

The plan is to have the majority of the booth space taken up by a photo booth where attendees can have their picture taken with Tux against a Fedora blue background, then that picture is uploaded to a Fedora space on the internet, and a monitor in the booth displays a QR code link to their picture (and a URL and a preview). When they visit the URL, they see their picture and an informational page about Fedora and FOSS.
